Editor,
Entering a family court proceeding is often an emotional, stressful experience. The person presiding as judge can make a tremendous difference in people’s lives. Maria Patrizio is the ideal person for this office as she has the experience and temperament necessary.
Patrizio graduated from Harvard and received her law degree at Northwestern. She served in the Peace Corps, worked in Orange County’s Legal Aid Society, and has been a practicing family court attorney for twenty years.
Patrizio has earned the Democratic, Working Families, Green, and Independence lines on the ballot this year. She believes that when people enter family court, they deserve respect and empathy as well as legal expertise and a just solution.
Maria Patrizio’s experience and compassion will make her an excellent family court judge, and I urge you to vote for her.
